KDG turns 19!

As KDG approaches the start of our 20th year (October 16th) of sharing our passion for Interior Design with our clients and the community there are 2 feelings, heartfelt gratitude and exhilaration!

I think back to all the clients who have entrusted their projects to us and believed in our creativity and enthusiasm. We have benefited greatly from these experiences not only by the opportunities to expand our creative mindset but mostly by the friendships that have evolved. This is truly what keeps me jazzed and passionate on a daily basis.

To our clients and friends who have enough confidence to say, ‘you can show me the options but we will pick what you think is best.” – I am grateful for your trust and confidence!

For those of you who shared understanding when we made honest mistakes but let us mend the problem – Thank you for your patience!

For the amazing and talented employees over the years who shared their lives and who were good teachers as well. – I share my gratitude!

To all the silent supporters of our company and who recommended us over the years – You are appreciated!

And to all those in the future whom we get the pleasure of the bringing your dreams into reality, we look forward to building the friendship. – Thank you in advance!


In the last 19 years we have experienced many exciting events, some worked out great and others were questionable…

  • We have moved seven times! (Lucky seven was into our renovated building we bought and reside in now)
  • Design Archives – a resource library for the trade opened in 2004. Due to other pre-established commitments and other unforeseen elements, this endeavor came before its time. (Keep
    posted for something better in the future!)
  • Most recently, with deep passion for the environment and sustainability, I took the leap to
    become an accredited auditor and advisor for Green Globe International for the hospitality and related industry. I am now in the process of completing two other related industry certifications so we are able to give more to our clients in assisting with their sustainable goals.
  • The Sanchita Charitable Foundation was created so that we could make a positive difference in the lives of others and our environments. We are very blessed to share this support with our community.
  • We started a company blog and newsletter, which if like anyone else, has been on the back burner for way too long. (Hey, we need to embrace the little things too!)
  • We constructed a company Vision Board as a constant reminder of our commitments and dreams.
So, as we jump into this 20th year, we are arriving with more clarity in our purpose for our future at KDG. I am a firm believer that by sharing dreams and desires with many, you have a better opportunity to achieve them. You just never know how, who, or when someone else may share the same dreams.

Here are some of our dreams for the years to come:

  • Be a co-creator in Idaho’s first luxury ‘glamping’ experience! A sustainable Eco Retreat committed to solving the worlds ‘Nature Deficit Disorder’ and empowering individual’s souls.
  • Design a Boutique Hotel
  • Create a Spa /Wellness Center preferably within a Resort
  • Create a Signature line of holistic lifestyle products
  • Continue our Social Responsibility by annually giving back to the community
  • Developing more Sustainable Procurement & Advisor services for our clientele
  • To design a sustainable home using shipping containers. Sounds crazy and intriguing… http://bit.ly/3dpq5c

So, here we are leaping forward with our helmets on toward that big ‘piece of cheese’ ready for the new years ahead!
